0:13I have chased after rainbows
0:16I've captured one or two
0:18I've reached for the stars
0:22And I have even held a few
0:25I've walked that lonesome valley
0:28Topped the mountains, saw a sky
0:31I've laughed and I have cried
0:34But I have always tried
0:36'Cause Ive always been a dreamer
0:41And dreams are special things
0:44But dreams are of no value
0:47If theyre not equipped with wings
0:50So secure yourself for climbing
0:53Make ready for the sky
0:56Don't let your chance go by
0:58Youll make it if you try
1:02So try to be the first one up the mountain
1:07The highest flying dreamer in the sky
1:14And try your best to be an inspiration
1:18Brothers that are still afraid and shy
1:19And try to make the most of every moment
1:33'Cause if you never try you never win
1:39So try each day to try a little harder
1:45And if you fail, get up and try again
1:50You know nothing is impossible
1:57If you can just believe
2:00Don't live your life in shackles
2:04When faith can be the key
2:07The winner's one who keeps determination in his eyes
2:13Whos not afraid to fly and not afraid to try
2:19So try to be the first one up the mountain
2:26And try to be the first to touch the sky
2:32And dont let somebody tell you, you cant do it
2:38And if they say that, show em its a lie
2:44And if you fail at first just keep on trying
2:50'Cause you are not a failure in gods eyes
2:55So spread your wings and let the magic happen
3:15Cause youll never really know if you dont try
3:22And the first step is the one thats always hardest
3:37But youll never really know if you dont try
3:44You have to try
4:47♪
